She had a quarrel with her son yesterday, and she didn't want to hurt their mother-son relationship today. It was a harmless thing anyway. It doesn't matter if you agree to it.
"Okay, I understand. I will tell Mrs. Wei later. Don't worry, I'll take care of the family matters."
Mei Yuanqing got the answer he wanted, and felt slightly relieved.
His weak and kind-hearted Ruoruo would definitely be defeated if he were to face the Wei family.
I can only come to my mother as a rescuer.
Mei Yuanqing was about to leave after giving her instructions. Zhang Ruoruo bit her lip, her big eyes filled with color, and her face looked even more aggrieved.
She recalled in her mind what Mei Yuanqing said just now, that she had been away from home for a while, and she felt a little sad in her heart.
I thought that after coming to this house, the two of them could spend more time together.
How long will it take for her son to live in this time? She is alone in the house and has no idea what to do.
Looking at Mei Yuanqing's leaving figure, she moved a few times and wanted to follow him to say something, but then she heard Mei's mother stop her, "Don't go. Let people see what it's like."
Zhang Ruoruo looked at the disappearing figure outside the door with tears in his eyes and muttered: "But..."
"It's nothing. If you want to enter the house, you have to abide by the rules here. Now I'm going to take a nap, and you can go and copy the scriptures and calm down." Mei's mother walked in under the care of the maid, not looking at Zhang Ruoruo's dull expression at all. look.
In the evening, the sky is getting dark.
Zhang Ruoruo walked out of Ci'antang while rubbing her wrists and feeling a little sore in her legs and feet.
Guiyuan looked at her and murmured: "Miss, you have worked really hard. Today, you have to serve the old lady with food and medicine, and also copy scriptures."
Zhang Ruoruo licked his lips, feeling a little aggrieved. But thinking about Mei's mother's promise before leaving that she would re-arrange some cloth and jewelry for her, she felt a little better.
"Now that we are in the mansion, we are not as comfortable as in the courtyard before. What's more... Brother Yuan Qing is often not in the mansion, and the only one we can rely on is the old lady."
Guiyuan still kept saying things like the lady was wronged.
Back at Zhuxi Garden, Zhang Ruoruo had just rested for a while when he heard someone talking outside.
There was joy in her eyes, and she hurriedly took a few steps to greet him. It turned out that the nanny next to Mei's mother had brought something.
She didn't say much, put down her things and left.
Zhang Ruoruo sent the person away very politely, and then returned to the house to admire these things.
Inside were some brocades, the colors were not her favorite pink or blue, they were even very bright, they were all rose red, yellow apricot and the like. But she was already very happy.
Holding brocade in hand. She touched it with her hand. I was overjoyed. It was indeed different from the fabrics they bought outside.
Although those fabrics are good, they are not as good as those made by officials. After touching the brocade with his hands, Zhang Ruoruo happily hugged it and rubbed it with his arms.
"The material is so soft and shiny..."
"Back then, I took these to the embroidery lady in the mansion to make clothes. I believe that when the young lady wears them, she will definitely not be inferior to the Wei family." Guizhi said with a smile.
"Really? I can't be as good as you say." She said modestly, but the look of joy on her face could not be concealed at all. It’s very useful when you want to be happy.
Guizhi kept up her efforts and continued: "Young lady is the best, don't be modest. So Wei's is nothing, just wear nicer clothes."
Zhang Ruoruo was happy to be praised. He pointed to the dark green material on the side and said: "Okay, if you follow me, I won't let you wear clothes that I don't have. I will let you use this piece of cloth to make it." Clothes."
Guiyuan pouted, obviously not liking it too much, but Guizhi had quick eyesight and quickly pulled her along to salute and thank her: "Thank you, Miss. We have never seen such good materials. If you can use it in Miss's honor, ”
Zhang Ruoruo raised his eyebrows, feeling a little disdainful.
These things are nothing, she will only get more and better things in the future.
In Hongxia Pavilion, Su'er, who had just received the news, told him what happened outside.
"Miss, you didn't see Zhang Ruoruo's frivolous look. She was just so happy because she got some information that Mei Xiaoqin usually doesn't like. I'm afraid she has forgotten that she said she only entered the house after her parents died, but she actually saw it Not as good as the plain materials and jewelry specially prepared by those ladies." Su Er said with a smile.
After hearing this, Wei Jingwei just smiled and said: "One lie requires countless lies to cover up."
"Ever since this Ruoruo came into the house, I have been really curious. I actually like this one... I don't know how to learn as much as Miss and Sister Su'er. I don't know what to say. But there is a rude saying in my hometown that wild boar can't be eaten. Come to Xichang. This is probably someone like me."
Su'er stretched out her hand and pinched Lian'er's round face, pretending to be angry and said: "Okay, you just said he is pig shit, how can you say the lady is fine chaff."
Lian'er waved her hands repeatedly, "Slave... I don't mean that."
She was not as eloquent as Su Er, and now her son was even more anxious and didn't know what to say.
Wei Jingwei stopped their fight in time, "Stop bullying Lian'er, she is so anxious that her face is red."
After listening to her words, Lian'er realized that Su'er was teasing her and hid her feet, "Sister Su'er is bad, she actually bullied me." After saying that, she walked out the door.
"Lian'er is really becoming more and more uninterested. Look, slave, the little girl has grown up." Su'er blinked narrowly.
At night, in the Luohua Garden where Mei Xiaoqin was, she lay on the bed and screamed "ouch, ouch, ouch" while the maids were waiting on her to squeeze her shoulders and rub her legs.
It took a while to recover.
He looked sideways at Zhang Ruoruo beside him, and sneered: "You are a man of means, and you actually entered the house. I thought you would either stay outside as an outsider for the rest of your life, or you would still be in the countryside. She’s a village girl.”
Mei Yuanqing and Zhang Ruoruo knew each other as childhood sweethearts when they were young, and Mei Xiaoqin naturally knew her as well.
They used to have a good relationship, so at night, Zhang Ruoruo came here as an excuse to catch up with her.
Mei Xiaoqin and Wei didn't deal with each other.
"I see how tired you are of learning these rules all day long, so what's the point of it?"
Mei Xiaoqin glanced at her angrily and sighed: "What do you know? This grandma is a well-known person. If I can learn from her, I will definitely have no worries about my future marriage."
In her eyes, although Zhang Ruoruo was a good friend when she was young, his status is different from hers now.
Zhang Ruoruo saw her thoughts, and although he was unhappy in his heart, his face was a little gentler.
"Don't I care about you? Seeing that you have suffered so much, if the gain outweighs the loss...then isn't this suffering in vain?"
"What do you mean? Or do you know something?"
